This study explores the lived experiences of the University Dance Troupe members in Eastern Visayas as they adapted to virtual dance training during the COVID-19 pandemic. With dance traditionally reliant on in-person practice, the transition to online platforms posed significant challenges. The study aims to understand the impact of virtual training on dance practices and the emotional, social, and technical experiences of students. Guided by Rudolph Labans Dance Theory, this research employed descriptive phenomenology to explore how participants navigated their training in an online environment. Using purposive sampling, nine dancers who had been part of the company since 2019 were selected. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, and Colaizzis method was used to analyze the responses. Themes that emerged included Preparation in Virtual Training, Flexible Online Dance Training, Emotional Responses, and both Positive and Negative Impacts of Virtual Learning. Results revealed that while challenges such as technical difficulties, space limitations, and lack of real-time feedback were present, virtual training also provided flexibility, emotional resilience, and opportunities for personal growth. The study emphasizes the significance of adopting hybrid learning approaches to combine the benefits of virtual training with in-person interaction. Recommendations include enhancing technological infrastructure, promoting professional standards in virtual training, and fostering virtual communities to support emotional well-being. This research contributes valuable insights into how virtual dance education can be improved, offering a deeper understanding of its implications for students learning and development.
